Hi,
I am looking to find a simple utility that would send a pre-defined Birthday / Anniversary sms to my contact based on the dates already available in Windows Mobile Contact information.
I have tried searching on this forum and on the net but to no luck. Does anyone know of any such software. The closest I could get was RJ SMS Scheduler but it requires us to feed in a schedule. I wish to find something that can look up the contact list and pick dates itself.
Thanks,
Umesh

Message taken! you could say I am lazy, unintentionally though, mostly due to lack of time. Intentionally, I would like not to miss a single event of the 400+ contacts I have on my phone list.
Can only imagine how glad they would be to hear from me on their special days and how happy I would be to know that I would never miss any good wishes for any of my good friends.

I checked this software but it is quite similar to so many others available on net. It requires us to set up a schedule to send the sms to particular contacts.
Instead I am suggesting the app could pick dates itself from the Window Mobile's Contact List and send sms from templates, we create and save in there. This way we do not have to add birthdates / anniversaries to Contact List and then set up another scheduled sms through a third party application for our purpose.
I hope I have managed to explain what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Umesh.
Ah, I see what you're asking for now. I don't know of anything that can do that, but it would be a good idea!
Any thoughts from anyone else to share knowledge of such an application ?
Thanks.
Not that easy
I'm looking for such application since a long time, but no luck. The application should also consider the following requirements:
MUST HAVE:
- choose the correct phone number, cuz the text messages should be sent only if a mobile number is available for the specific contact;
NICE TO HAVE:
- built the text message with a variable string where automatically should put the name of the contact;
- should have the possiblity of exclude some contacts from the auto-SMS in order to avoid sending the pre-configured SMS to your girlfriend for example
Will see if someone can manage it in the future.
P.S.: I have more that 400 birthday to remember
Ciao!

Thanks Mohit for putting this together. I've set it on my system though had some issues with display on Touch HD but was able to use the controls and set it up. Couple of questions that I had in mind -
1. Does it have to be left running at all times or can I at least shove it off my running task list.
2. Every time I add a new contact and his / her birthday do I have to update this software too to add the new contact to it's list.
But otherwise it seems to be a nice piece of work.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Hi Umesh,
Thanks,
well no need to keep it running as i am using notification que to run it at the designated time. like an alarm. so u can just exit after setting up every thing from options->save n exit
and about updating new contact u just need to open the app and click options-> "add contacts bday", it will automatically fetch the new one and update it. also it will remember the last message u had set up.
When I fisrt login and HTC Peep downloads tweets for the first time, the notification sound works. When tweets are next downloaded, it doesn't. Doesn't matter if this is set to download automatically or manually.
Anyone got any ideas for a fix? (Apart from throwing my device at HTC)
Thanks!
Still now joy, checked registry settings and all seems as it should be...
Same issue here...
Got exactly the same problem. Would be strange if nobody else is affected.
Have been using two different ROM's and installed the latest security update for HTC peep.
Still HTC peep is only making the notification sound the very first time.
+1 to the problem.
Same Here
Yes I too have the same problem!
So report this issue to HTC, let them know!

Let's hope the old TP2 still isn't out of support.
I'll report this issue too, however it doesn't really bother me.

That would be wrong to suggest the HD2 is out of support as I recently enquired about the old Peep problems and it got done almost instantly.
It never really bothered me that much but I'm finding I use Peep more and more and now require the instant notification anyway if you buy a product it should live up to the apps etc that it came with and my HTC HD2 with windows and Android is still pretty much in the game

How the heck did you get them to make you anything? I've been fighting with them for over a month now to make one single change to the Peep application to use HTTPS instead of HTTP basic for the session. I ever told them how to fix it. It would take one programmer half an afternoon at most to fix it, but they keep telling me that they have no information to give me. They are very frustrating people!

I'd prefer to call them funny people...
Yesterday I asked for help to get rid of that boring flip of the digital clock on Home Screen. Today they told me to do a long press on the clock to change clock layout, knowing that wouldn't give an answer to my original question...
Has anyone ever heard of sth like that in Stock ROM???

No not a clue on that one I'm afraid!
I would love to know how to have just the home page background picture to look at instead of the clock, calender section, quick links, weather and quick lauch buttons at the bottom!
No answer also to the original peep sound question also from the "funny people"
Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..
hope this helps! good luck!

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.

Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Good day guys.
I got my brand new omnia 7 and i was wondering abiout the possibility to keep in control the 3g data used per month.
is there any apps or any way to control the amount of data used (and i'm talking about the data used through the carrier).
Thak you very much

oh s##t you right! I was hung up to Windows mobile but now is WP7.. I meant Windows phone 7. I don't belive there is not internet data counter!!!
I have a live tile on my homescreen which is a link to the following website;
http://wap.o2.co.uk/myo2account/myprepayallowance
This webpage gives me my remaining credit, how many free texts I have left and how much data I have left. So it provides a data counter.
This is for UK O2 Pay as you go, but I'm sure other carriers provide similar mobile web pages for their customers to see their account status.
There's really no need for an app. Just find out the URL from your carrier and pin the page to your home screen. Et voila!

I don't know this guy, but I'd love to... anyway, my carrier (WIND) does have a website but it doesn't give the chance to track the amount of bytes that have been used... i know.. it's sad!!
Nonetheless, I keep saying that this option should be given for this amount of money
it is indeed a bit weird that a smartphone wouldn't provide this information, but hopefully MS wise up a bit and bring it in as part of an update sometime soon.
i don't believe you'll see a proper app for this (possibly a homebrew one might come along though) as the proper APIs for this haven't been made available (i think anyways).

why couldn't they add these simple features like:

-Data counter telling you that you're spending way too much time online
-A camera that you can silence in order to take picture of your neighborhood

i definitely understand what you're talking about. and yes there is still a lot missing. hopefully MS actually takes the time with these updates to implement some of these features which i don't think would take all that long to code. but for now, be patient. perhaps post your ideas on social.microsoft.com, as that is the direct communication line with them. and perhaps in one of the pinned threads (future updates i think it is), so that we can keep track of features we'd like to see.

do we even know why you need a silent shudder???
some want it. from what i've read in the past, HTC phone's shutter sound obays the actual volume you set, so if you set the volume to 0, you get no shutter sound. this doesn't apply to Samsung and LG phones though. but i think having a silent shutter should be added.
Hello, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a Galaxy S and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
No takers? We really need more testers!
I was installed this apk (v0.9.9.1). All went fantastic good (block call, no delay, etc.). But after 2-3 days app slow down my system and crach. Idont know why and how... I must deinstall this very good app of my think....
Regards
Have it installed and works fine for me

Update to the latest version - yours is over 2 weeks old!
People, I could really use some feedback, as we have been working hard at solving outstanding issues on galaxy s phones.
Are sms replies blocked properly? Does the new logging method work?
Works.
But the calling person hears a spilt second tone on both reject & alternate reject. Need to work on that.

Thanks

its was great, used it and my beta expired.
i really need the beta to not expire, this has the exact functionality i need.
can u provide a non expiring beta for now im in real pain !
I could provide many things, and provide them i do.
How about a pretty please in return?
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
I was in the states and it worked fine on atrix there, thanks, saved me from the old ball and chain!
How is the new update - it should have fixed outstanding issues on the galaxy phones.
Work very well on SGS with firmware and others in signature, i cannot hear any ring if numer is blocked.....

Good to know, thanks!
Hi, sorry, but this is a translation of google translator.
To begin the work I want to thank you and tell you that the program is fantastic.
Now I mention a problem I have since version .09 to .11
I have a Galaxy_S with Darky 9.5 ROM.
When you check the "Start service on boot" and restart the terminal, marking is not maintained and I have to tick the option "Enable bloquing call" every time you reboot the phone and not being able to start the service itself.
Thanks again and best regards.
Works great on 2.3.3. Thanks a lot! =)

Well I tried the App yesterday, but I am not at all impressed with it, I mean it shouldn't be called Root Call Blocker! I Black listed my own number, and tested, there is still a small Ring coming, so the blocked user will more than easily understand the number is blocked. But in the application comment it was stated that it will be blocked from Network state! Anyway, that didn't happen for me.
It is still the fastest by miles mate! Noone will know youre blocking them - thats just paranoia.
Anyway, network state is defined by the answer to the ring. There is no other way. Even CM blocking works this way.
